It started at Christmas

Chapter 17

Olivia's pov

Our conversation in the car on the way to wherever we where had my adrenaline going. The fact that i agreed to do the late night shows after he promised to come with me had me all riled up. And i couldn't help but tease Chris, having him shiver from my words and a groan escaping his lips made me smirk. He grabbed my hand and we walked to the door of the house, i had no idea where we were. He knocked on the door and a few moments later the door opened a woman standing at the other side. "Ah Mr Evans" she said "it is so nice to see you again please come in." I was confused for a moment i thought that we where at a friend of his but the fact that the woman called him Mr Evans threw me of. Chris shook her hand and we walked inside, "please call me Chris" he said. "Okay Chris" the woman said smiling, "this is my girlfriend Olivia" he said. My heart made a cartwheel in my chest at the words girlfriend, i was sure that the smile on my face was enormous.  I dont think i would ever get used to him calling me that, the butterflies in my stomach were absolutely going crazy. 

"If you would follow me" the woman said leading the way to the back off the house. Grabbing Chris his hand we followed the woman. She opened a door and we stepped in a room and my eyes almost popped out of my head as i saw a mother Germans Sheppard and her pups in front of me. I squealed "OMG they are so cuuuute, can i?" i asked the woman. She looked at me with a big smile on her face, "yes go ahead." I walked over to the mom and pups, "Hey mamma" i said, giving her some love first. Her pups came running over to me, i sat down and they where all over me. I looked up at Chris who was walking over to me and sitting down next to me being immediately bombarded by pups. "Good surprise?" he asked grinning. "Best surprise ever" i said leaning over and kissing him. "This is the nest you get to pick your puppy from" he said smiling. I looked around me, "O god i cant choose" i said, the woman interrupted us "do you know if you want a male or female?" she said. "Male" i said, "well" the woman answered "the pups with blue collars are males and the pink are females. Spend some time with them and make your decision take all the time you need and if you need anything i am in the kitchen it is the first door next to this room."

We played with the pups for a some time, mamma being thankful for a little break but still watching us to make sure we would be sweet to her pups. Looking at Chris playing with the pups being all exited warmed my heart, not to mention sending my ovaries in overdrive. 

God this man made me feel things i had already given up on a little. Thinking i would never have this in live. "What?" he asks catching me staring at him with a face splitting grin on my face. "Just you" i said, "you're absolutely perfect you know." He blushed, "i am not he exclaimed. Have you already made a decision?" he asks changing the subject. "I think i have even though i would love to take them all home but this one is the one i said pointing to the pup in my arms sleeping." 

"Okay wait here" he said. He walked out the room leaving me alone with all the perfect little balls of fur. A few minutes later he walked in with the woman. "I heard you made your choice" she said smiling, "i think i have" i answered "it was difficult but i chose this one." She grabbed a Purple collar of the table walking over to me and putting it around the pup replacing the blue one.

Do you have a name she said smiling at me with the sleeping pup still in my arms. "Yes i said, it will be Asher" i smiled. "It means happiness" i said smiling at Chris and the woman. She looked at me and smiled "that is a great name."

"Okay i few things we need to go over" she said. i put Asher down and walked with Chris and the woman to the kitchen. 

So she started when we sat down at the kitchen table. Another dog came over to me laying his head on my lap and i put my hand on his hand stroking him. The dog closed his eyes enjoying the attention. "First off all" she continued, "the pups are now 5 weeks old and they wont leave the nest until there at least 8 weeks but i could be up to ten it depends if we think they are ready." 

"I understand i said, I dont want Asher to leave until he is ready". The woman smiled at me "that is good to hear some people want to take them right away. Second thing is they will be fully vaccinated and de-wormed, they have all the papers and health checks before they leave." I smiled "that is good to know."  She smiled at me, "The dog with his head in your lap is the dad she said his name is Zeus. And if it is not to much trouble the woman said we would like to get some photos every now and then. We just love to see how they progress if you dont mind of course."   "I think i can do that" i said smiling.  

After we finished some paperwork, we went back to the puppies to say goodbye. We said our goodbyes and walked back to the car, once again Chris opened the door for me and i got in letting out a sigh as i sit down. Chris was about to step away to close the door, I grabbed his arm pulling him in putting my hands on his face and kissing him passionately. "That was the best surprise ever, thank you" i said. "You're welcome" he said leaning our foreheads together. He closed the door walked to the driver side and got in. "You hungry?" he asks. "Starving" i said leaning my head back into the head rest. "Lets go get some dinner, what are you in the mood for? " "I can go for a burger" i said looking over to him. "A burger it is" he said smiling. 

We arrived at the diner, walking in we sat in the back and the waiter came and took our orders. While we waited for our dinner we talked about Asher and the other puppies, "cant wait for him to meet Dodger" i said smiling. "Me neither" he said grabbing my hand, "you made a good choice and i love the name" he said looking at me making me blush. The way he was looking at me made me heat up a tingling sensation shooting trough my hands directly to my core. The effect this man has on me was unreal, he played with me fingers and i couldn't help but stare to our intertwined hand. 

The waiter arrived with our food and we dig in falling into a comfortable conversation every now and then glancing at each other. After dinner he insisted he payed and we made our way home.
